Its not only what Raymond says...

There is merit in the political content and a lot of us share his views.....at the very least its an opinion, and everyone is entitled to one....

Its the way he says it, peppered with personal insults, and the way he belittles everyone else's opinion, that's what puts people off, and the way he insists in engaging in a dialogue even when the other party would rather bury the hatchet.......

Seems like nothing else except a ploy for attracting attention.....any kind of attention......

If he really wanted to get his message across, he could do so in a civil way....that has better chances of making people sit up and listen....

Its a bit of corrective feedback fwiw. People on this and associated threads, are some of the most civil, gentle, friendly and least confrontational people on SI. JP probably tops the list. We argue, we discuss...but never with an intent of showing the other person down. If he can't maintain a dialogue with these guys, well, I have tough time believing he can maintain a dialogue with anyone at all....

Does that make sense to you ?

Life is too short...

BWDIK?
